SUMMARY:: Art in Windows (Regent Road): Measured - Adrian Jeans
DESCRIPTION:MEASURED\nSculptures by Adrian Jeans\nDates: on-going from 15 A
 pril\, 2019\nLocation: 57-61 Regent Road\, Liverpool\, L5 9SY\n(on corner
  with Blackstone Street - don’t rely on satnav)\nTimes: 24/7\n\nLiverpoo
 l artist Adrian Jeans exhibits his signature heads which\, with their roug
 h surfaces and stunning mimesis\, reflect his on-going practice of\, and d
 eep thinking about\, the portrait sculpting tradition.\n\nMuch is said abo
 ut portraits capturing the sitter’s character and though some may appear
  to achieve this\, Jeans’ own experience teaches otherwise. Sculpting a 
 head from life takes many hours and the sitter is forced to relax their fa
 ce\, resulting in unnaturally glum expressions. Clay\, plaster and bronze 
 are also poor substitutes for living flesh.\n\nUnlike character-likeness\,
  physical-likeness is possible. Jeans uses calipers to maximise the physic
 al accuracy of his portraits and their convincingly individualistic facial
  features hint at the real\, living person behind each sculpture.\n\nMecha
 nical devices\, however\, make measuring every point on a head impossible 
 but Jeans’ digitalised\, faux-cubist style\, created with coarsely serra
 ted scrapers\, accommodates this and\, along with his spontaneous-looking 
 modelling\, makes the clay surface\, and therefore the portrait itself\, c
 ome alive.\n\nJeans’ dedication to portraiture allows him to explore the
  medium’s limitations and possibilities and suggest a more expanded unde
 rstanding of how subject\, artist\, process and material intertwine within
  a work. In this way he is breathing life back into this unloved tradition
 .
